The Idea

From Crab Mentality to Geese Mentality

Canadian geese fly in formation, take turns leading, and never leave a struggling bird behind. It is a working model of shared responsibility — and the opposite of the crab mentality, where the instinct is to pull down whoever climbs.

The workshop uses that contrast to open up something harder to see from the inside: how upbringing, schooling and social norms quietly shape the way each of us leads, and which of those habits are worth keeping.

"Leadership is not about being the best, but about bringing the best out of the people around you."
